This time, Lin Maofeng was a little shy and didn't speak immediately.
But after all, he was a fellow villager who had been living in the same village. Looking at the expression on his face, everyone knew what was going on.
"Li Zheng, don't be so pretentious. Isn't this the right thing to do?"
Seeing that he could no longer dress up, Lin Maofeng also smiled very happily, "Okay, they said they would take us to have a look first. If we like it, we can live there. If we don't like it, we won't talk about it."
These were the original words, Lin Maofeng said them without any embarrassment.
Everyone cheered instantly, as if the person they were thinking about before was not them at all.
"Then let's not waste time here. Let's go quickly. Once we settle down, we can have a good sleep. I haven't had a sound sleep these days."
They didn't dare to stop on the way. They just camped at night and rarely went back to find inns or anything. After all, there were too many of them and they would be exposed if they were not careful.
No one dares to take this risk.
"Yes, that's the truth. Let's take a look quickly."
So a large group of people followed Cang Xiuxuan's people to the suburbs of the city. The layout of this city is actually very interesting. The only way in and out is outside the city gate. The suburbs are not through the city through which they entered the city before.
door, but walked in the other direction.
It's like the city gate surrounds everything inside.
It is definitely a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as they can be self-sufficient in the city, there is nothing anyone outside can do to them.
It's about ten miles, which sounds like it's not far, but it took almost an hour to walk. It's about the same distance as the previous distance from Beiguan Village to the town.
When they got there, everyone was dumbfounded again.
"This, this is the suburbs?"
They pointed at the scene they saw in front of them. They couldn't believe that this was the suburbs of the city. The rows of houses were no worse than those in the city.
And they feel much better than in the city. First of all, the distance between houses is very wide. All houses are built along both sides of the road, just like they are built around streets in the city.
Perhaps the difference is that it is not as densely packed as in the city, and the houses are not built as high as in the city.
Lin Maofeng also expressed that he was very surprised. Even though he had much more knowledge than other villagers, it did not mean that he was well-informed. It just proved that other people were ignorant.
He had never seen what he saw in front of him, and he had never even heard of it. It seemed that those noble Zhuangzi were not so good.
"Well, little brother, is it wrong? We are going to the outskirts of the city. Is this the prepared town?"
They didn't see any towns along the way, just a large urban area.
Cang Xiuxuan's people had a panoramic view of the reactions of everyone in Beiguan Village, and their eyes were full of pride and pride, "This is the suburbs I'm talking about. This is specially planned by our master. Each house is allocated to one family, and it is for bringing people together."
For the yard, each household can choose two acres of land behind the house."
"Then, that's the land that's connected over there?"
Lin Maofeng hurriedly took a few steps forward, wanting to see more clearly, but after all, the distance was still too far, and he couldn't see clearly either.
But even if I didn't see it clearly enough, the shock in my heart was still quite big.
When he came, he noticed that side and couldn't even see it at a glance.
Cang Xiuxuan's man nodded, "That's a plain over there, and it's all fertile farmland."
The geographical location of Beiguan Village is relatively north, but it is also a mountainous area in the north. The largest piece of land they have seen is one to two hundred acres.
The location where they are now should be almost modern Jiangnan. The terrain here is flat, with few mountains and much land. Looking at it this way, it is probably at least a thousand acres.
As far as the eye can see, there is fertile farmland.
What kind of treasured place is this? They had no idea before that Song Chen would always be their lucky star. Even though they had to leave their hometown like this, a good life was still waiting for them.
"That, that, that's ridiculous, let me slow down first, slow down..."
Lin Maofeng's heart was like a rabbit, beating wildly with excitement.
A man walked aside and found a cleaner place to sit down. He stared at the fertile fields over there and began to be in a daze.
Similar to him, there were the villagers in Beiguan Village. Lin Maofeng had never seen such a scene, let alone them.
"Did I hear correctly just now? These are fertile fields? Can we still get two acres per family? Come on, someone come and pinch me."
"Why are you pinching? I heard it true just now. These are fertile fields, each family has two acres. God, how can this make people unhappy?"
"When you choose a house later, remember to pick them together so that the children at home can play together."
"That's great. It's convenient to visit now anyway."
Those three aunts and six mothers-in-law have already found the place they want to live before they even move in.
Lin Maofeng sat aside, his heart still not calming down.
Suddenly he was excited. With such good conditions, he would definitely not live in vain for them. He actually forgot to ask about the price. It would be too expensive to live in by then. Wasn't his excitement in vain?
"How much money is needed to buy a house here?" Lin Maofeng took a deep breath and stood up and asked.
As soon as this question came up, the previously excited villagers of Beiguan Village suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, freezing them from head to toe.
Yes, why have they forgotten such an important issue? It is impossible for such a good house to cost money. Can they afford it?
This question is indeed a good one. Cang Xiuxuan's people wanted to talk about it first when they brought them over. However, they were always very excited and they never found a chance to speak.
Now that Lin Maofeng asked this question, they just said it.
"Our master said that every household in Beiguan Village can buy a house and two acres of fertile land with two taels of silver."
It is impossible for them to live in these houses without collecting money, because if they were given the first time in vain, they would wait for the second time. These people are like this, they like to push their limits.
It was true that they had to leave their hometown because they were implicated, but they didn't have to come. It didn't matter what happened to Song Chen in the end if they stayed there.
But when they come, they cannot have the thought that they are forced to come and everything must be prepared by others.
Two taels of silver was not much. In the past, in Beiguan Village, I could not even buy an acre of land, let alone a big house and two acres of fertile land.
This was what Song Chen had in mind when he suggested that Cang Xiuxuan collect two taels of silver from the villagers of Beiguan Village.
If you don't have to spend a penny, have a house to live in, and land to farm, no one will take this matter to heart.
After collecting their money, even if they have purchased these things themselves, they will cherish them more and remember the kindness of others.
After all, after moving in, they will know why they spent the two taels of silver. Whether it was worth the money and what their mentality should be in the future will all be reflected.
At present, no one will accept the price of two taels of silver.
Many children have already rushed over and started choosing their own houses.
"Since no one has any opinions, please wait a moment. We will draw lots to choose the house. If they are allowed to choose their own house, there may be several families competing for one room. She still hopes that such a thing will not happen.
The lottery is full of unknowns, which is really exciting when you think about it.
Naturally, the villagers of Beiguan Village will not reject this matter.
The location of the house is a little surprising. Where you get it depends on your luck. You can't blame anyone.
Seeing that none of the villagers in Beiguan Village had any objections, he sent someone to prepare the things to be used for the lottery, while he himself went to find Lin Maofeng.
"Lin Lizheng, the location you have chosen is not far from the location of Miss Song's village. It will be convenient for you to work in the workshop. However, our village does not have a name yet. You decide whether it is up to you or us."
They were the first people in the city to live on the outskirts of the city. Later, when there were people everywhere, they would not care so much and just follow their rules.
This was also a question that Lin Maofeng had ignored. Now that it was raised, he couldn't think of what it should be called.
"How about calling it Beiguan Village?"
They have been villagers of Beiguan Village for so many years, and now they have come to a brand new place, but they have also left together with the whole village. After all, they are still Beiguan Village.
Naturally, the people over there had no objections, "Then call it Beiguan Village. I will arrange for someone to come over and help you put up the sign tomorrow."
Lin Maofeng bowed politely and said, "Then you'll have a hard time."
When the lottery started, everyone was begging the Bodhisattva to bless them and bless them to draw the house they like. However, it is impossible for all the results to be satisfactory.
But when they got the key and opened their own house and saw the furnishings inside, their previous unhappiness completely disappeared.
The house is spacious and bright, completely different from their previous home.
They have everything they want here, it's exactly the life they dreamed of, and if they think about the location, it doesn't matter at all.
Everyone settled down as quickly as possible, and after taking a short rest, they went to find Lin Maofeng.
Li Zheng must still be her Li Zheng, and no one else can take on the responsibility except him.
Buying such a nice house and two acres of farmland for two taels of silver is like a pie falling from the sky. They are very satisfied here. The only thing that makes them miss is the ancestral graves in the village...
In two years, let's see if we can find a way to move the ancestral grave here. If it doesn't work...then we can only go back every year to burn paper and worship.
